NIK NAK*

My story

RESCUE ONLY DEADLINE 5PM 02/05/25Name: Nik NakAnimal ID: A855565Age: 1 year 2 monthsWeight: 38 lbs. About: Nik Nak is a sensitive pup looking for a patient family to help him build confidence and navigate the world. He arrived at the shelter in November 2024 as a stray and at just about a year old, he is very much still a puppy with tons of potential to learn and grow. Nik Nak is slowly learning about the world, but the shelter presents its own limitations, and there is no substitute for a loving home. Nik Nak`s biggest challenge is his lack of socialization with people. He remains wary and needs time to build trust. He is still learning that humans are kind and want to help him. Nik Nak has made great progress while at PACC and now walks better on a leash. He still needs some reassurance and encouragement and needs a family who will take things slowly as he develops his doggy skills. Nik Nak will likely do well with a confident, well-socialized dog who can act as a role model and help him learn the ropes in his future home. Nik Nak shares his kennel with another PACC pup who he made friends with at the shelter. When meeting other dogs in playgroup he mostly kept to himself but was social and tolerant with dogs that approached him.Nik Nak`s ideal family will be patient, understanding, and willing to take things at his pace. Building trust takes time! Nik Nak needs to find a home with a secure yard and one where he’ll be supervised when outdoors. He also needs a home without chickens and will need slow and careful introductions to smaller animals like cats and smaller dogs. With consistent, gentle training and lots of love, Nik Nak has the potential to become a wonderful companion, and he deserves a chance to find his forever home.
